Sunnyvale, CA, March 28, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Zetta.net today announced significant channel growth in 2013 over the previous year, as demand for its enterprise-grade cloud backup and disaster recovery (DR) solution continued to accelerate at a rapid speed. The company acquired 310 percent more partners and 870 percent new end user customers through its partners. The volume of end user data backed up to the Zetta.net cloud through partners increased by 1,900 percent, while the company's customer retention rate weighed in at an impressive 97 percent.

Industry factors that are driving adoption for cloud backup and DR, and Zetta.net's solution, include rapidly increasing volumes of data that require backup, as well as larger-sized data sets - over 500GB, that make traditional software backup slow and ineffective.

Managed service providers (MSPs), resellers, and other partners find Zetta.net's solution particularly attractive due to a pricing model that helps them generate a profitable recurring revenue stream, with no hidden costs. And its appliance-free approach and multi-tenant partner portal promotes higher margins by enabling less time/expense implementing and managing customer backup deployments—no onsite visits required.
